Introduction to Powerproject BIM – the basics of 4D scheduling

Powerproject BIM allows a user to combine a 3D model with their project schedule to create a powerful 4D environment. Benefits of 4D include enhanced communication, planning analysis, progress monitoring and value engineering. Join this session to see the basic principles of Powerproject BIM:

Importing 3D models into Powerproject BIM

Building a basic 4D plan by quickly and easily associating project tasks with elements of the 3D model

Splitting models down to better reflect the build sequence

Recolouring models and setting construction profile

Exporting animations to video

Tuesday March 20th, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
